2.61 . And when ye said : O Moses! We are weary of one kind of food ; so call upon thy Lord for us that he bring forth for us of that which the earth groweth of its herbs and its cucumbers and its corn and its lentils and its onions . He said : Would ye exchange that which is higher for that which is lower? Go down to settled country , thus ye shall get that which ye demand . And humiliation and wretchedness were stamped upon them and they were visited with wrath from Allah . That was because they disbelieved in Allah ' s revelations and slew the prophets wrongfully . That was for their disobedience and transgression .
2. 2.62 . Lo! those who believe ( in that which is revealed unto thee , Muhammad ) , and those who are Jews , and Christians , and Sabaeans whoever believeth in Allah and the Last Day and doeth right surely their reward is with their Lord , and there shall no fear come upon them neither shall they grieve .
2. 2.63 . And ( remember , O children of Israel ) when We made a covenant with you and caused the Mount to tower above you , ( saying ) : Hold fast that which We have given you , and remember that which is therein , that ye may ward off ( evil ) .
2. 2.64 . Then , even after that , ye turned away , and if it had not been for the grace of Allah and His mercy ye had been among the losers .
2. 2.65 . And ye know of those of you who broke the Sabbath , bow We said unto them : Be ye apes , despised and hated!
2. 2.66 . And We made it an example to their own and to succeeding generations , and an admonition to the God fearing .
2. 2.67 . And when Moses said unto his people : Lo! Allah commandeth you that ye sacrifice a cow , they said : Dost thou make game of us? He answered : Allah forbid that I should be among the foolish!
2. 2.68 . They said : Pray for us unto thy Lord that He make clear to us what ( cow ) she is . ( Moses ) answered : Lo! He saith , Verily she is a cow neither with calf nor immature ; ( she is ) between the two conditions ; so do that which ye are commanded .
2. 2.69 . They said : Pray for us unto thy Lord that He make clear to us of what color she is . ( Moses ) answered : Lo! He saith : Verily she is a yellow cow . Bright is her color , gladdening beholders .
2. 2.70 . They said : Pray for us unto thy Lord that He make clear to us what ( cow ) she is . Lo! cows are much alike to us ; and lo! if Allah wills , we may be led aright .
